[Will on the hill]

Danger game. Broncos are much improved from last year. Forwards are holding the middle and Milford, Issako and Gamble are creating threats on a regular basis. Defense needs to be better and would be nice if we didn't rely on Turbo as our only attacking threat.

 

[manlyfan76]

Surely the exodus will be wearing them down mentally. Coates to storm now.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Home game in Brisbane.......no COMPLACENCY!!!!!

 

[Dion Johnson]

A good test for our middle forwards this game, Marty back on the bench will help.

Sironen to the bench if he is back this week, Guaca should hold his spot on form.

 

[Jerry1]

Good win could see us crack the eight. Never thought I’d say that a few games back....

 

[Shnorky]

I spoke to sirro snr today and sirro has tightness/niggle in opposite hammy caysed from compensating for injury, so more than likely will return the following week

 

[Will on the hill]

9th on the ladder but bookies have us as 6th. Hate the bookies but only because they know what they're doing.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

MIGOTY

No seriously it is , win this one and we could be in the 8.

After 4 straight losses who’d a thought.

 

[cava2323]

Josh Aloia round 20!!?!! I missed that one. Not good

 

[BOZO]

It does not matter who we play
What matters is we need to be more consistent

Consistency is what transforms a bottom of the table team into a top of the table team

 

[XV-1]

Home game in Brisbane.......no COMPLACENCY!!!!!

Broncos have been good the last two weeks.

 

[Will on the hill]

Josh Aloia round 20!!?!! I missed that one. Not good

It's a wrist injury, 12 weeks for a wrist doesn't sound right unless it requires extensive surgery.

 

[Remy]

Danger game. Brisbane forward pack performing well and their halves slowly getting into form. Can't be complacent and we historically don't do well at Suncorp. Gotta be focused, getting Taupau back will be huge, don't know whats up with Siro. We have a draw that favours us well for the rest of the regular season so these kind of games (especially the warriors game imagine if we lost that) we have to take advantage and get our dubs up. GO MANLY

 

[Stewbojevic]

We’ll need to play better than we did today to win in my opinion

 

[Luke_m]

Hope I’m wrong but not looking like turbo will play had ice on both hamstrings after the game hopefully just precautionary

 

[Sheikheagle]

Hope I’m wrong but not looking like turbo will play had ice on both hamstrings after the game hopefully just precautionary

short turnaround but should be fine. Heavy track today so the ice will just help with recovery. Just like he was being massaged in the hammies at half time.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Marty back hopefully, but with the short turnaround Paseka might struggle with HIA protocols. So we could be looking at the same team just a swap with Kapow and Tent. Although Siro would look better on bench than Suli, especially if he is just warming it for 80 minutes

 

[Luke_m]

Yeah I hope your right his an absolute legend hope his body doesn’t let him down again

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Yeah, the Broncos/Cows game yesterday was a very tight, competitive affair. Level of play was probably better than we saw today at Brookie. Haas is a machine and their whole pack is starting to play with some grunt. We'll need to be better than were today. Marty coming back will help a lot.
